A truly wonderful story about the power of people and love.

Joe and Marcy Poulin were on their way to get married at the Old Marina when it burst into flames on Saturday. Amazingly, they found another venue to host the party

Flowers! Glorious flowers! So many beautiful choices!

Here's what will be in full bloom at weddings this year.

May is a busy, wonderful month full of weddings! I’ve just completed several wedding consultations and feel so blessed and so honoured to have been asked by the most wonderful couples, to be their offiant. They’ve been waiting for such a long time for their special day due to all the delays and challenges because of the pandemic. Now it’s time for them to get married and say “I DO”!

Congratulations to you all!

This past weekend I participated at the Wedding Ring show at Bingeman's. It was absolutely wonderful seeing the hundreds of people who attended - brides to be, grooms to be, mom's, friends, bridal parties - it was simply fantastic!

It was festive and fun and full of happy, joyous people excited about planning their future weddings and if we think 2022 is going to be busy, 2023 is going to be even busier!

Let the weddings begin! Yahoo!

Some of the wedding arches I got to stand under! It's been a wonderful, busy summer of weddings. I had the great privilege of marrying amazing couples and loved being a part of their wedding celebrations.

Congratulations to all the brides and grooms who never let a pandemic stop them from marrying the loves of their lives!

Yesterday was a pretty challenging day for an outdoor wedding. The skies were grey and gloomy, but my wonderful bride and groom were fearless and decided to go ahead with their outdoor wedding.

Well 20 minutes before their ceremony it started raining! Not a nice gentle rain but a torrential burst accompanied by rumbling thunder.

But love conquers all! The rain stopped after half an hour, the sky became blue and the sun shone on this beautiful couple! It was magical.

Congratulations Melissa and Oliver!

It’s been wonderful working with couples who have had to postpone their weddings for over a year due to CoVid. Their love for each other, their trust and faith in their future together and their excitement at planning their wedding ceremony is truly inspiring. A pandemic cannot stop them. True love conquers all!

Brenda is wonderful as a person and officiant to work with. She was so open minded to learn about our culture and helped us throughout our wedding preparation, giving us suggestions about clothing and decorations especially during these unprecedented times. She was particular about all the guests following the covid protocol all along the wedding ceremony.
Our best wishes to Brenda for her journey and i hope other people get a chance to know this amazing person. Thank you Brenda again!❤️

Thank you Heena and Abhijeet for the absolute joy and honour of being your wedding officiant and sharing your special day with you

COVID wedding challenges continue, but couples are resilient and making the best of a challenging situation. They will have COVID wedding stories to share for years to come.

I’m working with two absolutely wonderful couples and planning their wedding ceremonies with them, which will be happening in the next few weeks.

What impresses me the most about them, is their happiness and joy in getting married. Both couples had initially planned large weddings of 140 plus guests. Now, both are looking at a very small gathering with the people they love the most and they couldn’t be happier.

This pandemic can’t stop true love!

05/18/2021

This past weekend I had the great joy to officiate the sweetest wedding of two wonderful people! It was a very small celebration in a backyard and it was absolutely lovely.

Congratulations Heena and Abhijeet on your marriage!

Pandemic weddings truly are a challenge for couples, especially when their families live so far away. Thankfully technology helps to bring families together - and their mom's and dad's and family members were able to watch their children get married thousands of miles away.

There were tears of joy, messages of love, virtual hugs and the loving feeling of family celebrating the marriage of two beautiful people.

A pandemic cannot stop love!

Weddings in the time of CoVid are definitely challenging, but couples are making them happen with a lot of resilience, flexibility and love!

I had the great honour of officiating the wedding of Emily and Mitch on Saturday and it was beautiful, sweet and perfect. Just like they are!

Their love for each other radiated to the small group of masked and socially distanced family and guests sitting outside.

Congratulations Emily and Mitch and wishing you many years of happiness together!

So we’re in another lock down and there are many moving pieces for couples trying to make everything work for their wedding ceremony.

I’ve been so inspired, impressed and full of heartfelt admiration for the couples I have the great honour to work with during these oh so challenging times. Their resilience, their grace under pressure, their deep love for each other is truly wonderful to see.

They may not be having the original wedding ceremony they had planned but they are transitioning their plans and making their special wedding what they want it to be. Smaller, more intimate, more focused on the two of them and their love. Truly beautiful.
